John is my grandfathers brother and the last to locate. He is a complete mystery. Here is a link to my family page at Rootsweb.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/labrosse.htm John may have gone to California prior to moving to Washington State. He may have also divorced in California.
John married Anna Zoritta. He supposedly ended up in Washington State and around the late 1920's was murdered while playing cards. No trial, not enough evidence for a conviction.
I just thought he may have left descendants as there are quite a few La Brosse families in California, Washington State and just across the border at Bonners Ferry Idaho.
John may have divorced Anna and re-married. If by chance you have a john La Brosse in your family tree, contact me as I have other information on him and we may get a match.
